Bibio – Why So Serious? lyrics

[Verse 1]
"Easy take it," she would say like it's a subject that we just started talking about
I'm going public with this love
Now all of a sudden you just wanna turn it all down
Looking for what you know's already there
You know you stalling
Playing fool to buy some time that you already spent
I wanna set us free to fix this thang
Or leave it hanging
By a thread that keeps us tied
To what we fear the most inside

[Chorus 1]
Why so serious?
Playing games with my emotions
(She said) Why so serious?
Playing games with this devotion
Why so serious?
Playing games with my emotions
(She said) Why so serious?
Playing games with this devotion
(Girl you know you just ain't serious)

[Verse 2]
Do we agree to keep as much as poss' to what we want between you and me?
This requires you stick through thick and thin
You don't seem like you about that life
I feel like stepping
But this ain't ‘bout the feeling
To oblige is a by all means thang
Forever is the time
Beyond my eyes
I wanna see you with this heart
But it feels like we're just growing apart

[Chorus 2]
Why so serious?
Playing games with my emotions
(She said) Why so serious?
Playing games with this devotion
(Girl you know you just ain't serious)
Why so serious?

[Outro 1]
Lady maybe I am wasting too much of your time
And maybe you could change it all
If you thought a lil' more ‘bout us
Baby, baby, loving you is all I wanna do
But every time I try to fix it
You start acting like you trying to refuse

[Outro 2]
Lady maybe I am wasting too much of your time
And maybe you could change it all
If you thought a lil' more ‘bout us
Baby, baby, loving you is all I wanna do
But every time I try to fix it
You start acting like you trying to refuse
(Every time you try to refuse)
